There are still some stragglers up on bed and the occasional big post spawner roaming up shallow, but the vast majority of fish have entered their post spawn funk. Targeting bass around structure and on the secondary flat below the drop off lead to the most fish. Light lines, finesse swimbaits and throwing a drop shot lead to the most fish. Using the nishine Erie 115 MD paired with mega live helped to find some more active fish too

Many fish on beds anywhere from 2-12 feet of water. Finding areas that had grass and boulders mixed in with the sand was key. Many of the bigger fish spawn deeper so areas protected from the wind or a flogger were very helpful.
